Intel: More ULV CPUs, Montevina Pricing

DigiTimes is reporting on some new Ultra Low Voltage CPUs from Intel’s Santa Rosa platform, as well as the CPU roadmap/price guide for Intel’s Montevina offering (aka Centrino 2) which is geared towards Small Form Factor computing (SFF).

These are going to be about the same prices, however they are upping the L2 Cache from 2MB to 3MB, and the LV CPUs will match the TDP of the former ULV CPUs (U7600 / U7700), while the new ULV U3300 is going to be dropping from 10W TDP to 5.5W TDP, which means a substantial increase in battery life. The bus speeds should go up, but that’s all dependent on the manufacturers.
